      It sounds strange for me too.  I think it is better to use the 
description from the BasicSplitPaneUI.finishedPaintingChildren() method:
         - Called when the specified split pane has finished painting 
its children.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicSplitPaneUI.html#finishedPaintingChildren%28javax.swing.JSplitPane,%20java.awt.Graphics%29

       However, changing the current description in the SplitPaneUI 
requires creating the CCC request.

      Thanks,
      Alexandr.
